Awareness of first aid for mental health: What will you learn?

You’ll be surprised by how much you enjoy the 4-hour session. I always make sure the learning process is engaging, interactive and stimulating — so you won’t be bored.

Most importantly, it’s a fascinating insight into a subject that’s often brushed under the carpet.

It’s a flexible course, and I’m always happy to tailor the content. If there’s an aspect of mental health or addiction you’d like to know more about, please just ask.

Here’s the 4-hour course content:

Defining mental health, and understanding the stigma surrounding it

Factors which affect mental health

Roles and responsibilities of a first aider

Outline of advice — What to say (and not to say) to someone with a suspected mental health condition

Listening without judgement

Knowing when to contact the emergency services

Identifying signs of stress, and how stress can be managed

How to implement a positive mental health culture in the workplace

Identifying signs and symptoms of depression, suicide, psychosis, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders

Do bear in mind, this course can’t teach you how to diagnose and treat a mental health condition. That’s the responsibility of a healthcare professional.

However, you’ll know where to signpost an individual who needs professional help. You’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to approach, reassure and support someone when they need it most.
